Sure, a republican elitist politician is much the same as a democrat elitist politician, but there is a not insignificant difference (which republican elitist politicians  always forget at their peril) that the democrat models for governance are Mao, Castro, and Uncle Joe Stalin.


Never doubt that this stuff will be reported as "government investigators" and not "democratic commitee heads".

Frenchy Feelin' Froggy. Jews Say, "HopTo!"

French troops almost fired at Israel jets: minister | International News | Reuters.com

Now that's what you call a BAD IDEA. Last I heard of any wargame with the jewboys, they waxed our asses. The french need to be constantly reminded they are....well, french.

The Israeli action looks like a warning to me. Whatever Froggy did the Jews didn't like will probably cease now.

Sometimes I Think Vets are Brainless Walking Egos

ESPN.com - HORSE - Barbaro may have cast removed

Barbaro shattered his right hind leg in the May 20 Preakness and has been in intensive care at the New Bolton Center ever since. He underwent surgery to stabilize the right leg on May 21, then developed laminitis in his left hind leg in July, prompting Richardson to remove an estimated 80 percent of his left hoof

Now that's good thinkin' right there. He can't stand on this one so we'll just cut the other one off.

I have to say here that I'm not "in" on the details of Barbaro's case and that there may be some things about it that would make this acceptable procedure. I wonder though.

I saw a case yesterday where a mare had become laminitic (foundered) in her right front hoof. This is a very painful, life threatening condition where P3 (the bone inside the hoof) becomes detached from the front (mostly) inside surface of the hoof and begins to sink down through the bottom of the hoof. If you walked on your toenails (like horses do) it would be  like having a toenail peeled off until the bone poked through the skin and that was what you had to walk on. Sound painful? It is. Remember horses can't sit or lie down for any extended period of time. There is no relief for them. A veterinary clinic had treated the right front surgically (properly), all the while refusing to make an intervention on the unacceptable load the left hoof was having to bear while the right was useless. Can you guess what happened? Correct. The left went to shit, too. It damned near always happens if you don't act properly to prevent it, and sometimes even when you do. This poor girl was tossing her head upward, using its decelerating mass to fleetingly take weight off her front hooves for even an instant of relief. Its been eatin' at me ever since I saw it. Somebody needs a beatin'.

There is a proven procedure for dealing with laminitic horses. It was developed by a farrier turned veterinarian and is so successful it is mind boggling. I haven't seen it fail, yet. Some horses are beyond help and nothing will save them, but this is a small percentage. It requires the skills of a highly skilled and  specialized farrier (usually trained by the above mentioned vet), several sets of x-rays, highly technical  machined shoes, timely intervention, and some not unreasonable horsecare by the owner. Some more severe cases require a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed by a vet to allow the procedure to work. It's a step by step damned near guarenteed to work thing. Some of the same things apply to preventing laminitis in a noninujured opposite foot. Connect the dots! Do the math! I don't understand folks sometimes.

Some educated idiots won't take advice from folks with enough experience to know what they are doing. Ego over horsecare.

Why would we ever want to be without the constant company of women?

JAC, how much fun can a guy have without a woman around? Isn't there a reason why it goes 'Wine, Women, and Song'?

Maybe I'm just weird, but I like going adventuring. And there are so many amazing places to go to . . .

BoysMom,
The version I have always heard is more like "Whiskey, Pussy, and Cigarettes", and I have always held that these things were to be had sequentially rather than concurrently.

Adventuring with women is a not really adventuring.
It's taking a woman somewhere, which is it's own kind of fun, but not the same thing.
It's going slow so she won't get scared.
It's planning a trip around Cracker Barrel locations.
It's passing up that sweet motel with the liquor store in the lobby.
It's mandatory showers.
It's changing clothes everyday.
It's not farting (audibly) in public.
It's not being able to say, "You ain't got a damn clue what the hell it is you're talkin' about. Now, shut the fuck up while I figure out what to do!" with out tears being shed.
It's having to find clean places to pee. Indoors for Christ's sake!
I could go on. .

We are happy husbands and fathers 24/7/365.25, but sometimes we want to be "just" men.

Many women don't understand this and feel threatened by it. They'll do everything they can think of to impinge upon it. I see it all the time, especially this time of year when men traditionally get together to hunt. There's always a few in a group, usually with young wives, who get phone calls throughout the day - or have to check in themselves 'cause the Mrs. managed to load 'em up with a guilt trip before they left. It's probably not only the women, either. I know guys who are scared to death their women are gonna figure out they don't have to have a man around all the time. Those fellas are best left at home, too. They'll muck things up as sure as havin' a woman along.

If only it was true

“There has never been an American army as violent and murderous as the one in Iraq”



The McGill Daily

The pacification of Iraq and it's neighbors would not be an ongoing balance between our lack of application of unrestrained brutal force and a teeming reservior of suicidal boys.

An Example

Of the kind of thing that will keep The Lizard Queen from the presidency.



Eventually, the arrogant can no longer restrain themselves and say what they actually think.

Infallible Voting Machines

No sense in leaving this stuff to chance.

It's almost enough to make one go, "hmmmm". What a coincidence these things were used in chicago with some problem with the tranmission software requiring intervention by Venezualan engineers.

If I was going to screw around with voting machines to skew the results, that's where I'd start in with my wrench. A "transmission" process to a central machine; a built in "error" accumulator.

The OTHER reason girls can be fun to have around

Lifted This from Nate's Peep Paradise yesterday:

Wildly off topic, but now we finally have an answer to where have the men gone.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/hsn/ 2006...inamericanmales

I think the answer to what is causing it is obvious especially when they throw in a major "symptom" is low bone density and diabetes. Boys- step away from the Big Mac.

I'm puttin' my money on socially suppressed masculine personality traits. And soccer.
JACIII | Homepage | 10.27.06 - 3:14 pm |

They claim that obesity can't fully explain the decline, but I'm betting it has a HUGE impact especially coupled with the rise in diabetes due to obesity.
Spacebunny | 10.27.06 - 3:15 pm |

Well, fat guys DO have boobs, right?!
JACIII | Homepage | 10.27.06 - 4:27 pm |


First of all JAC -eeewwwwww!
-snip-
Spacebunny | 10.27.06 - 5:11 pm |

Here's proof I had it right.

I hate to lend some legitimacy to this post but after Nate pointed out nothing but lack of honest work was at the root of modern obesity and its associated side effects, it occured to me I had read a study which found bone density and size amazingly high (compared to average modern man) in nomadic peoples who began traveling extensive distances on their own two feet at a very young age.
Easy verification of this can be had simply by shaking the hand of a man known to have been throwing 80lb haybales five feet over his head since he was 10. What we commonly call a "farm boy".

The Lizard Queen strikes fear into the hearts of... men?

First, there's my little brother who has been reading his own posts too much. For those of you collecting Nate-isms this is a "scrapbooking moment":

Then Will tries to pull me out of my delusional state:

J, I don't want to seem like I'm insulting your intelligence, but remember that 48% of the country's voters pulling the level for Kerry. Hillary is a much more electable candidate than Kerry. All she has to do is win an extra 2% of the voting population and she's in.

She has the name and face recognition, that false crutch that "things were better under my husband", and the fact that most of the only people who see her for what she really is are us on the Extreme Right who nobody listens to anyways.
Will | Email | Homepage | 10.27.06 - 5:04 am | #

President Hillary? You're smokin' crack.

Sure, it's a national election. But politics is local, folks, and no one has abolished the electoral college since last I checked. Didn't Al Gore 'win' the national election?

Oh, The Lizard Queen has 'star power', I'll grant you that, but it is a hollow thing of the sort hollywood denizens command so long as they keep their mouths shut about what they really think and stay with the script their publicist gave them. Hillary, like (the artist formerly known as) Prince, Madonna, Sting and other one-name pop stars has an ego too great to allow her to do that. I can't wait until this screech owl gets revved up. Remember Howard Dean? You ain't seen nothin'.

The Lizard Queen has yet to walk into a fight where the electorate was not already skewed in her favor. She could have run for senator in Arkansas, could she not? Considering the weight the South has been throwing around in national elections, perhaps that might have been the place to start a run for the presidency. Sure, being a NY senator is a bit more in the limelight, but when was the last time a yankee state swung an election? She is sittin' safe, building up her confidence to face the big boys while hoping James Carville will save her from those rednecks who shit all over Al Gore and said all those nasty things about that nice man, John Kerry.

She's not somebody. She's somebody's wife. I'll be surprised if she makes it out of the primary.

But don't let me stop y'all from gettin' all a-titter and swooning with fear at the certainty of Queen Lizard the First, by all means carry on with your fun. Drama Queens.

Does no one in California own a bushhog?

No better place for commie rat bastards to be.

I may be paranoid.....

But I have been seeing a lot of Lizard Queen, aka Hillary Clinton, look alikes from hollywood lately. You know the type, moonfaced, wrinkly eyes, droopy eyelids, shortish yellow air with dark roots.

Most folks aren't cognizant of the media's use of images to subtley promote the agendas its members sympathize with, but I read this book -

Tower of Secrets: A Real Life Spy Thriller by Victor Sheymov



years ago. It is by Colonel Victor Sheymov formerly of the Soviet Union Third Directorate which was entrusted with Signal Security. In his official capacity he was privy to a lot of communication for all different levels and branches of the KGB and it's client agencies including those regarding Soviet infiltration of the US entertainment industry, its dominance of the American communist party, and its techniques for promoting activities and persons 'useful' to them.

It is a useful exercise to ascertain what cause the left is championing and begin watching for their little pokes and proddings upon your consciousness. It's sort of the same as when you buy a car and suddenly discover there are a lot more of hat type than you thought previously. You'd be surprised how much you'll notice.

Start looking for the Lizard Queen in bit parts as crowd fillers and no-line actresses. See what you can see.

Example:

I just watched The Sentinel on DVD. One of the Secret Service agents with one line is a 'younger' Lizard Queen (completely unattractive) who receives a lot of face time at especially dramatic moments in the film instead of another actress who is present in those same scenes and is attractive and also blonde, but ends up slightly blurred or in the corner of the screen. Coincidence? Subconscious impulse by a director/editor who worships at the webbed feet of the Lizard Queen and her ilk?

What a Nutcase !

Watch the video.

Pardon the pun.

Proclamtion

RE: This post at Vox. Follow the first link in the post.

By the power vested in me by Jimmy Russel's 50.5% alcohol by volume on Sunday mornin' while everyone else is in church, on authority of my rusty pickup truck, extensive gun collection, Farmall tractor, Justin boots, Resistol hats, shiney belt buckle, Copenhagen, and George Strait's Greatest Hits I do hereby declare VD to be forever absolved of the unnatural sin of foo-foo drinks in recognition of his not insignificant contribution to the Lost Cause and the defamation of That Bastard Lincoln.

From this day forward let no man ridicule VD for his past foo-foo drink transgressions lest the comfort that is the shade of the Magnolia, the refreshment that is Sweet Tea, and the glory that is the Rebel Yell be forever denied him.


Amen.

My pal the skunk

We had a skunk move into the crawlspace a couple days ago. PEEEEEEEYOOO.

Here are the steps I've taken to rid myself of this noxious critter.

Constructed a trap and set it out last night but haven't had any luck yet.
Placed moth-balls under the house in an attempt to ward him off.
Dumped flour at all possible entrance/exit sites to track his comings and goings.

Be vewy vewy quiet....

Any creative suggestions for killin' this critter once I get it in the box are appreciated. My plan is to release him, runaway (to a safe distance), and put a bullet into his brain. Yes they spray when you brainshoot 'em. They spray everywhere like a high pressure hose you turned loose. I know this.
I read that a middle spine shot will disable the squirt mechanism, but I doubt that will be his presentation upon release.

worth talking about.

The North Koreans are building and testing nukes, proclaiming war is inevitably.

Madonna bought a slave.

Nancy Pelosi wants to be speaker.

The Lizard Queen wants to take over the world. If only she had a pecker.

The internet HAS taken over the world and the dinosaur media has started to get the message. (No, liberal idiot bloggers will not rule the internet - It's the market, stupid. And AOL is long dead from forcing chioces on it's subscribers.)

There's just not much goin' on

Modern Diesel Automotive Engines

Are incredible. Durable, fuel efficient, powerful, sophisticated, amazing. Until the EPA gets involved...

The europeans have been using small turbo-diesels in their cars and trucks for many years now and the technology is stable and proven. Lots of folks in the US have compact pickups - how would you like that with a diesel? Wipe your chin.

A few of the euro models have made it across the pond to the US consumer such as the VW TDI Jetta, Bug, Toureg and the Jeep Libety CRD. Mercedes has been cartin' diesels over forever. These are all great vehicles with great engines, until the EPA gets involved. A spectaculary bad idea US manufacturers came up with to meet emissions standards is a thing called and EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve. This thing allows engine exhaust to be "reburned" thus lowering the emission of EPA regulated substances. Horrible idea. Take a look inside your tailpipe. Nasty isn't it. That's what the EPA has mandated your engine inhale.

EGR is a particularly ornerous thing with diesel engines as they are inherently sooty (like the inside of your wood stove). Keep in mind that these engines are computer controlled and depend on delicate sensors along the intake tract to relay information about air temperature, boost pressure, air flow rates and such. How long do you figure these sensors would last in your tailpipe? Right. It has become a common procedure to have the intake system "cleaned". The service tech disassemble the top half of the engine and washes it. If you're lucky this is a $700.00 procedure not including the price for changing out that failed component that brought you into the service bay to begin with.

Needless to say there are an awful lot of "offroad use only" automotive diesels out there now.
FYI: Honda is suposed to coming out with one that uses no EGR and has a nitrate converter in the exhaust system. Freaky.
